F81 series-F81SE20DHB(ati mobility hd 4570 512vram) -14inch [rm3,099]

still a clear winner isn't it???

plus Asus' standard 2 yr int'l warranty, definetely worth the price...

btw, BenQ S42 is at a much higher level than those u mentioned... GeForce 9600M GT...

hmm...thx 4 the reply tho..still need more people's comments on this one..

After thinking over,i have decided to cut down the list to 3 models only..

Dell Studio 15 [RM3299]
Intel Core2Duo Processor P8600
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
320GB HDD
15.6" WLED Display
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570
DVD Burner
1-Year Limited Hardware Warranty
*Free Targus Synergy Carry Case

Aspire 4937G-842G32 [RM2999]
Intel Core2Duo Processor P8400
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
2GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HDD
14" backlit TFT LCD (widescreen)
Nvidia Geforce 9300M GS with up to 2303MB of TurboCache technology(512mb of dedicated DDR2 vram,up to 1791 of shared system memory )
Integrated 8X DVD-Super MUlti Double-Layer Drive
Acer bio-protection fingerprint solution
Dolby optimized surround sound with 2 built-in stereo speakers
Integrated Acer Crystal Eye High Definition webcam
1-year Limited International Traveller's Warranty

2GB RAM
250GB HDD

i'm leaning towards Dell's 15"..hmm..

im in the same boat as u blueheaven...im sure asus has the best performance but how bout the looks? looks like dv3611 has the upper hand here....i dun really like the design of asus, plus i din use asus laptop before, so i dunno whether the quality is trustable or not...

might as well consider studio 15 for better proc...but the big ass size turns me down...

wan to ask btw, nw purchase asus laptop at lowyat plaza still can get 2 yr extra warranty?

imho..

between Asus and Acer, i would choose Asus because of the better quality and warranty, so out goes Acer

between Asus and Dell, the Rm200 extra u get:
1) Better CPU
2) Vista HP instead of Vista HB
3) larger HDD
4) double the RAM
5) larger monitor
6) 1 yr less of int'l warranty

if warranty is not priority, i would choose Dell...

astria whats the price of BenQ R47?

Is benq long lasting?

if f81se compare to M300-S411, f81se clearly has the upper hand in terms of performance, but toshiba has more solid build + harman kardon speaker, n i like the design more....

just 1 question, if play games like L4D, crysis eg, 3470 vs 4570 makes a big difference? cos 1 is class 2 n 1 is class 3

silent killer, what recommendations would you have for me?

currently using BenQ's S41, besides the GPU problem (8600M GS), which isn't BenQ's fault anyway, i am very satisfied with it... never break down or anything for the past 1.5yr...

go to the BenQ Performance Thread to ask if u want to know more or gather more opinions...

and wat i like BenQ best is that it's price-performance ratio is even higher than Asus and Acer, while offering quality products...

as for the price, last i hear is abt RM2.3k, comes with C2D T6600 and 9300M GS...

---

Added on April 22, 2009, 6:59 pmwell, all i can say abt BenQ is that it's definetely much better than Acer in terms of quality and performance...

try find a laptop that can match BenQ's S42 or S57 spec at the same price pt...
